The SD Project

The SD Project The SD Project is a 501(c)(3) non profit organization created to bring hope to struggling children in our sports communities throughout the U.S and abroad.

The SD Project began simply as a vision to seek out young members of my local community whos life struggles prevented their participation in sports. The goal being; to have their participation in sports bring them joy and personal growth opportunities experienced by countless others. We began reaching out to family, friends, former teammates and coaches over the years. Their donations of equipmen

t and monetary support allowed us to have the means to supply needy children with sporting equipment. By word of mouth, we began finding families in our community in economic distress and children afflicted with mental or physical disabilities that were preventing them from playing team sports. In order to bring them into sports, we delivered new or refurbished equipment. Our success over the short life of the SD Project has allowed us to help hundreds of players in many communities across the U.S and in Latin America. We have evolved our community based charity into a global non-profit. Our efforts are personal; having delivered equipment to, as well as shopped a wish list, with our program beneficiaries. We take pride in the fact that this small , local organization has been able to springboard over the past three years into a far-reaching charity. We have been blessed with lasting teammate connections made through travel AAU, college and minor league baseball that have stepped up to help us fulfill our mission. Now that the organization is a 501(c)(3), we are poised to expand into a larger community and corporate sponsorships. That will allow us to support many more deserving players, fulfilling our mission to bring hope to those who may have lost their own. I have been blessed to have experienced sports in a community and family that supported my dreams and allowed me to develop my passion and talent into a career. So many similar teammates and coaching partners that I have met along the way agree and support this mission. It is my time to give back in a way that will allow others not experiencing the support I had to also reach their dream, potential and find the joy only sports can provide, I sincerely hope that you feel the same and join this opportunity to help change lives right in front of you and across the globe.

Some great snapshots and great story of Lorenzo and Gio both coming from the same family having five siblings.

They ran into a situation of financial struggle possibly going to keep them out of the game they love. Our SD Project supporters played a big role in keeping them going by sponsoring them. Always great to see the success story after. Well done everyone.

This is Gio,

He has come across a great opportunity to play with an elite travel lacrosse team, but with his family having six children, both parents working full-time to make ends meet. It’s just not an option for them.

I’m really hoping we can make something happen here to keep him on the field and allow him to take on this opportunity. His mother was explaining how great of an outlet this sport is for him to cope with autism.

If you are in a position to donate , please shoot me a message and I’ll send you the details for Venmo or Zelle to go towards Gio.
